When I was about 11 years old I was told only weak boys wrote things down. What an idiotic thing to say to a child. Firstly, that’s a lie and secondly it is foolish to put your story in someone else’s hands when you can write or express it yourself. I was born strong and had absolutely no idea how strong until I picked up a pen. I didn’t mind a physical fight, but a pen is a fight on another level. It may not cause bruises but it transforms minds.
